Heat-not-burn aerosol-generating article, product and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a heat-not-burn (HNB) aerosol-generating article, which comprises aerosol-generating raw material, aerosol-generating agent, and water. The aerosol-generating raw material is pre-pulverized and then sieved through a 40-200 mesh sieve. The aerosol-generating raw material, the aerosol-generating agent, and water are mixed in a certain proportion and blended into paste, so that the HNB aerosol-generating article is in a shape of paste stick when extruded, and is used to be injected into the HNB cartridge tube by extrusion into the paste stick. The paste stick HNB aerosol-generating article has internal pores in a form of loose paste stick. When the user performs a suction action, the pores are convenient for the aerosol passing through the paste stick HNB aerosol-generating article into the human mouth smoothly. The above-mentioned HNB aerosol-generating article is suitable for HNB non-tobacco products or HNB tobacco products and the like.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A heat-not-burn (HNB) aerosol-generating article used to be loaded into a tube of an HNB non-tobacco or tobacco products, comprising:
 aerosol-generating raw material, aerosol-generating agent, and water;   wherein the aerosol-generating raw material, the aerosol-generating agent, and the water are mixed and blended into paste, so that the HNB aerosol-generating article is in a shape of paste stick; and   wherein the HNB aerosol-generating article is injected into the HNB cartridge tube and has internal pores to allow aerosol to penetrate and exude, a porosity thereof is 40-75% when heating and drying, so as to reduce the suction resistance to 0.75-1.5 Kpa to make the aerosol to be smoothly released during the smoking process.   
     
     
         2 . The HNB aerosol-generating article of  claim 1 , wherein the HNB aerosol-generating article is composed of following parts by weight: 40-80 parts of the aerosol-generating raw material, 30-60 parts of the aerosol-generating agent, and 30-50 parts of the water. 
     
     
         3 . The HNB aerosol-generating article of  claim 2 , wherein the aerosol-generating raw material comprises a combination of one or more of herbal spice or Chinese medicine raw material, the herbal spice is a combination of one or more of tea, lotus leaf, mint, licorice, clove, dried lemon, dried orange,  Chrysanthemum,  star anise,  Osmanthus,  mulberry leaf, bay leaf,  Perilla,  orange,  Angelica dahurica, Amomum tsao - ko,  tangerine peel,  Gynostemma pentaphyllum,  lavender, hawthorn, rose, honeysuckle, tartary buckwheat tea, chestnut, ilibiscus, lily,  Lysimachia foenum - graecum  hance, spikenard,  Abrus cantoniensis,  banksia rose, sandalwood, agarwood, coffee, blueberry, and strawberry, the Chinese medicine raw material is a combination of one or more of radix rehmanniae, prepared  Rehmannia  root,  Angelica sinensis,  cassia seed, dandelion,  Apocynum venetum,  jujube, medlar,  Fritillaria cirrhosa, Panax notoginseng, Sterculia scaphigera,  borneol, menthol, saffron, poria,  Pueraria, Dalbergia odorifera,  holy basil,  Perilla  leaves,  Bupleurum, Isatis  root,  Astragalus, Prunella vulgaris,  ginseng, white peony,  Gastrodia elata,  and  Schisandra chinensis,  and the aerosol-generating raw material is made by grinding into powder and mixing. 
     
     
         4 . The HNB aerosol-generating article of  claim 2 , wherein the aerosol-generating agent is glycerol, which has the effect of locking water and promoting to produce a smokeable aerosol. 
     
     
         5 . The HNB aerosol-generating article of  claim 1 , wherein the HNB aerosol-generating article is a density of 0.5 g-1.5 g/ml and a dynamic viscosity of 150-500 Pa.s, which is in a fluid form used to be injected into the HNB cartridge tube. 
     
     
         6 . The HNB aerosol-generating article of  claim 1 , wherein the HNB aerosol-generating article has internal pores is a columnar paste, which automatically forms a loose columnar body after being heated. 
     
     
         7 . The HNB aerosol-generating article of  claim 1 , wherein the HNB aerosol-generating article is injected into the HNB cartridge tube in a form of injection for controlling the injection amount. 
     
     
         8 . The HNB aerosol-generating article of  claim 7 , wherein the HNB aerosol-generating article is injected into the HNB cartridge tube by means of air pressure injection, hydraulic pressure injection, or mechanical pressure injection. 
     
     
         9 . An HNB product, comprising a cartridge tube and the HNB aerosol-generating article of  claim 1  loaded into the cartridge tube. 
     
     
         10 . A manufacturing method of the HNB aerosol-generating article of  claim 1 , wherein the manufacturing method comprises steps of:
 pulverizing the aerosol-generating raw material, wherein a pulverized particle size is 40-200 mesh,   mixing the aerosol-generating raw material and the aerosol-generating agent according to a proportion, and   adding a predetermined amount of water to make the mixture into the paste.
